yeah i think we are looking a 4 maybe 5 transfers or team leaves (may not transfer just stop playing)
Like I posted earlier I was told 2-4...Vad was the one I knew of.
Bostic, Zenon and Bailey are ones to watch.

No need for sour grapes from NC State.
At the time he came out of HS they had Russell Wilson and Mike Glennon, both NFL QBs that were drafted by the 3rd rnd. in the years they came out.
NC State wanted Vad as a WR, they only mentioned Vad as a QB after he got offered as a QB by GT.
That is 100% not true.
None of those guys are receiving significant playing time. That would be my guess as to why.Why Zenon?
Thinking of this stuff makes me glad certain guys stuck it out. Charles Perkins is one - could have packed up and left when he got passed by Sims and Laskey and was hampered by injuries. Instead, he found a new position and seems to be working hard at it.
Please tell me what is the 100% truth, didn't NC State initially want VL as a WR/athlete?
Why Zenon?

I really like Perkins and hope to see him get more PT next year. He will have to earn it of course but I think he will get more snaps. Seems a high character kid.Why Zenon?

This is why I wished we didn't recruit as if we're in danger of oversigning. Attrition, much like 'winter' in Game of Thrones, is coming.
I do think Vad is crazy not to at least get his degree here, he is not an NFL talent so if he transfers to some crappy AA school so he can play next year all he's really doing is devaluing his education and future.
I hope his decision works out well for him, but I wish he would stay long enough to get his GT degree. I don't see him as an NFL QB.That was a part that was hard for him, he did want the GT degree. In the end he did what he felt was best for him and his family.
Vad Lee said:"Making the decision to leave Georgia Tech was difficult for me. I am very close -- and will continue to be close -- with my teammates. I will also miss the overwhelming support I received the last three years from Yellow Jacket nation.
"I greatly appreciate the opportunity Coach Johnson gave me, as well the chance to work with coaches like Brian Bohannon and Bryan Cook. Thanks as well to (recruiting coordinator) Andy McCollum, who helped recruit me to Tech.
"My decision was also difficult because I know first-hand the talent coming back next season. I just felt that it is a good time for me to get a fresh start for my final two years of college."
CPJ said:"Vad is a young man with high character and I appreciate all the work that he put into our program and to Georgia Tech during his three years here. This is a decision made by Vad and his family, and while you don't like losing talented players, I wish nothing but the best for Vad in the future."
I hope he doesn't have a career track similar to Luallen. He just kinda ended up 'just a guy' on the roster at Cincinnati didn't he?
